Yeah the harvest season weather in Portland has been fantastic this year. Someone up there wants us all to get extra stoned this winter.

I've seen them on my petunias, but not on the marijuana yet. I have decoy moths set up around my plants because apparently those moths are territorial and don't want to lay eggs if they see another moth nearby. Also the moths definitely prefer petunias to pot plants, so the petunias might be serving to distract any moths from my marijuanas.

If you want to try them from seed I have some seeds off the F1 mutant hybids we grew this summer. They're a bigger challenge to start from seed than pot plants, but that just makes a successful start more satisfying. Caterpillars see to love petunia blossoms more than anything else, the flowers are a nice canary-in-the-coal-mine as well as possibly drawing away moths. They're also pretty and they smell nice.
Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind. Only ended up finding a few but any prevention is good up here. Stressed out a bit and pulled the chunkers off the babies cuz of this rain and weather change. Still got the plastic on and fans ragin but I figure a few days early can’t hurt. Some of the blaclberry pies are bigger than a pringles can.

So the weather has turned sour and it is wet and 90% humidity here today. The plants were damp this morning in the GH from condensation. I am hoping to hold off any rot as after Tuesday it is supposed to be clear and dry again for a week at least. I hope that I can make it to the home stretch with harvesting this year.

I found my first traces of stem rot on one of my half-ounce sized plants 3 days ago, I'm trying to treat it so I can get that plant to Wednesday and another week of smooth sailing in perfect weather, but if the rot spreads any more it looks like I'll be hanging that one at 7 weeks or so. I treated the first spot an it stopped spreading in that spot, but then it popped up at another spot down the stem a little and I'm kind of wondering if the whole plant is infected internally.
Both spots of rot started at a place where a fan leaf had fallen off. Last night I was listening to a Duke Diamond interview and he said he prefers to cut the fans off and leave an inch or two of leaf stem on the plant. He didn't say that rot prevention was the reason why he does that, he said it was to improve the cure, but maybe there is more than one benefit to the practice. That moist open wound thats left on the stem where the fan leaves separate themselves naturally really seems like an easy pathway for infections to get into a stem.

Cut it now. At least get something from your work.
Duke Diamond seems like a pretty rad dude, I watched an interview with him and started listening to the one on the adam dunn show, really informative. Him and bodhi both have a lot of great breeding pointers, and dd being from va I know the humidity sucks out there, that adaptation probably made for the best of the best for cure with what he’s been working with. Really hoping to get my hands on some dominion or granny skunk sometime in the near future...pretty amazing lineage, and seems like probably a lot of heart and soul in those beans.

Any moisture that collects and stays on the stem will cause stem rot. Main reason that you need fans indoors. Also why I stopped growing horizontally indoors; it creates places for water to collect on the stem, rather than shedding off with gravity. I also pull all fan leaves clean off at the stem, because leaving a spur will just invite water to collect there and the droplets will cause stem rot. But this year in the GH stem rot is not the issue. Its botrytis rot in the flowers. Similar cause; water droplets collect and the rot grows fast around the water.
Robrites has it right. You have to harvest or risk losing more as this weather continues. I have also salvaged plants indoors in the past that had stem rot. Cut above the rot and clone the tops.

Heard DJ Short on the Pot Cast. Have a whole story about blueberry I wasn't sure when or where to mention. Only got it one time through a friend wasn't mine, only smoked it once best strain ever. Now to claim all time or something idk, I am only saying my anecdote, blueberry or they used to sell 7* or 7a around then I think. Goes to show how each and every strain and batch really is different.

Against everyone's best advice I've been trying to treat the stem rot & I haven't really gotten a kill on it yet, but I think I'm preventing it from spreading or at least slowing it down.
Here is a picture of the afflicted area partially unwrapped. The bandages are strips of paper towel soaked in lemon juice.
This is the fungus a little closer up
As you can see the flowers could use a little more time
Like I said before its not a very big plant
Tomorrow I'm going to use an 8" parabolic mirror to blast the fungus with sunlight, that might finish it off.

This is what the afflicted area looks like after sunlight treatment
Not really sure what to think, I guess I'll see if the fungus still springs back after my latest attempt at treatment. I found botrytis on a plant today for the first time, hopefully the last time too. If the weather does what they say its gonna do seems like everything I've got left should be caked in resin and ready to harvest in a week or so.

Had to cut some botrytis rot out today. Damn stuff grows fast. One stem where I had cut a primo cola off the top last week got infected. Lost a few smaller buds below it. Stem was infected from where I cut it. Damn drizzle finally ended this morning here. Supposed to be nice for a week now. I will be harvesting most of my plants this week and maybe I can get the later finishing strains to fatten up and harvest them before the weather turns sour for good this year.

95 cities and counties in Oregon where it's still illegal to sell marijuana
95 cities and counties in Oregon where it's still illegal to sell marijuana
Cannabis is legal to grow, sell, buy and recreationally consume in Oregon, right? Well, almost.
There are some cities and counties in the state that have opted out of various parts of Oregon's chillest law and, according to the Oregon Liquor Control Commission, "prohibited the establishment of Licensed Recreational Marijuana producers, processors, wholesalers, and/or retailers."
Cities and counties where 55 percent or more of the people vote against legal recreational pot were allowed to adopt an ordinance banning parts of the law within their borders.
Other cities and counties that wanted to ban parts of the law had the option to put it to a vote. That means some Oregon citizens will vote this November on whether or not to maintain their current laws against "producers, processors, wholesalers, and/or retailers."
Here are the 95 places where you can't go into the weed business.
